FROM TM r; rca PAPERS. Bii'sn!4wg, JUNE 25.—0 n the 24th and 2 tb, qte Junta met at the ti ,, ual honr and place, and held its seventh and eighth, sittings'. The deliberations on the projeCt of the Constitutiim were continued, and each Member delivered his remarks in writing. Afterwards the Junta settled as a:p . rineipal measure, that all these remarks should \ be : . )Inparedifind well considered ; .as also, that suc h of them as tend to improve the projeta of the Constitution, which must for 'ever establish the happiness of Spain, shall be taken notice of. According to intelligende received from 'Spain, traoquillity is restored in he distriets dt Segovia, Valladolid, and Placentia : that part of Navarre and Arragon which is situat e o n the' fight bank of the Ebro is also returned to obedience. • The latest accounts which the Junta have received' from Madrid, respe&ing Cadiz, as well as the army before Gibraltar, are very tranquillising. • In general, the Captain-Generals, the CCirirOgi -006, the Alcaldes, atld the most polished part of the Spanish' Nation, display the best sentiments; and in thcise places where insurreCtions had actually broke out; these comrnotions were only .Occasioned by the common people, who wanted 'to avail them selves of an unsettled time, without a Government, to commit the most violent excesses. PARIS, JULY 2—According to letters .from Baur deaux, there_ are daily passing strong • divisions of French troops, coming from all quarters of the king dom, and proceeding on their march to join the army in Spain with all expedition. • The French Privateer La - Nouvelle Gironde is ar rived in one of the Spanish _Ports, after taking five Prizes. French Bank Stock closed at 1345 francs. An nuities ate at 85 francs, 25 cents. DORSTEN, JULY 2.—.—The reports relative to the_ breaking out of insurreetions in the county of by reason of the military conscription, have - been much . exaggerated.

BILLAMY, indeed, ras one of the Proprietors of the Theatre in Belfast, and is much esteemed there as a Performer. CUILDILiLL. Yesterday a Court of Common Council %vat held here. After disposing of some preliminary Corpora tion business, the Court proceeded to the considera tion of the question, relative to the condual of Go, vernment with regard to,tlie Patriots of Spain, for whiCh it had ben specially summoned. , Mr. Qui N rose to move an Address to hii Majesty, expressie of the approblition of that Controf the decisied and magnanimous measures whicli had - been adopted by his Majesty's Government in aid Of .the Patriots of Spain. When he looked round him, and beheld so many Gentlemen eminently distinguished . . by.tbeir talent; and abilities, lie could riot but lament _ . that the question shOuld hive. been brought for ward by' so humble art individual as himself.— However, he was not without hdpe thA he should meet the indulgence of the Court in discharging the' duty which he Irad -.undertaken to perform. - _ The glorious struir,glo' in • which - the Spar.isl; People were engaged in two points of view; an object _ . of sympathy and• interest to the British 'Nation: as well , because, in case Of .a successful issue, it would liberate Spain itself from the Juost odious tyranny and oppression with which any nation had ever been cursed, -as that in that event it would: deprive the-ty rant of so large a line of coast, frotn . Whieh he might otherwise deriVe an PecessiOn of means for carrying into- effeci his hostile designs against this,Country."- Under such cireurrigtances„ he thotight it would have the trtbst beneficial effect. upon .the common • cause of this Country. and Spain ! , to prove, by . the adopti4.ll of the .Motion with which -.helnearit to conclude, to the Patriots - of that-COuMry, that the• People of this 'free .nation identified interests with them, and were ready 'to Make every efhii't to release them from the subjugation with Which they were menaced. The conduct of the French Despot towarcE Spain,was without example or record in the . • annalS of the world. He had explored tlie . pa:.;es of ancient lOre, he had resorted to- the history of the darker ages, when the traces .of past Civilization va nished before the desolating tritimphs of cruel, fe-- yocious and s r anguiiiary barbarial ; he had cohsulted the records of - 'more recent revolutions and vicissi tudes, but in no case . was he able to Lind any tranS 7 - a4:kion which, Par fraud, pet . 6dy, and atrocity, could bear comparison With - the utipt-incipled" and netatious conduCt of the French Despot toward, Spain.' The eventful period since the commencement of the French Revolution had appeared to him a succession of woo. ders,..which he had looked upon as at an end, but the stupendous effbrts of a great nation, such a Spain, in defence of its. Sovereign, its laws, its integrity, and its independence, - shewed that the preieht vas the age of wonders. Having dWelt with much force, ant, pation, and eloquence; upon the various topics above alluded to, the. worthy Deputy concluded an able .speech, by- moving,. " That a rlutiful. and Loyal Addres.be presented to his Majesty, expressive of their rita.lks for the great, des:isive, and magnanimous rnevurks adopted by ins *Majesty, towards assisting the Glorious Cause in which the Spanisa Nation is, engaged, to defeat the Perfidy and Usurp..tion Ot the Coin mon Enemy of Europe." , Mr. Alderman Buton.secended the motion, upon which he trusted there would not he a dissentient . voice in that assembly.' Fleu welt ivith much anima tion upon the importance of the efforts of the Patriots . of Spain, not only 'to this country,. 'but to Ewope, and adverted with satistiktion to the electtic Procla mations issued by them, decisive at once of the good ness of their cat.te, and of the enthusiasm and devo tion with which they were resolved to maintain it. The day on which that Court 'was assembled to deliberate upon the motion under consideralmn, was the anniversary of the_ French Confederation (the 141.11 of. July). That day bad beep at one time ce lebrated by a party in this Country, lout it remained tbr that Court to consecrate that day by an :unani mous vote in. favour of the patriotic efforts of the 'Spanish People, to rescue the independence of their country from the galling yoke ofa foreign tyrant. • Mr. Sheriff SMITH thought s that it would have been better to have deferred the present. motion for a few days, till that Court and the country could , have seen what the measures of vigour and magna. , dimity were which the Government had resolved on in support of: the Spanish cause. However, as the'question had been brought fOrward, it should have his support. _ Mr, Jac:Ks 'thought that' something more than . a simple Address ought to he voted by that respectabl6 Assembly, in order to shevi to the people of Spaiti the sympathy felt by this Nation in their present ar duous contest. He trusted, therefore, that the ques tion respelling the Address, would be followed up by some such expression of the sentiment of the City' of London as he had alluded to. -Mr. GRIFFITHS supported the motion, and ob served, that he had it from good information, th,:t the Resolutions of the Covert of*Aldertuen and Com ; mon Connell of the City of London, being always followed by- every other Corporate Body in the tini - t ed Kingdom, made the 1) rant of the Continent tremble. • Mr. WAITHMAN; though indisposed, could, not, after the course - he had pursued in that . Court for ,fifteen years past, suffer a intestionof,the description of that under consideration to pass without an obser vation, The motion of his-worthy, he could not say his decided Fr iced, appeared to him. not to be at ail applicable to the, tenor •Of :his speech ; and he . was: sure, if .his worthy Friend had weighed the subject with proper consideration in his mind, het would have produced his motion in another shape... His worthy' 'Friend Inid talked of this being the age of wonders; and certainly, after the fluauat nig condua which had hitherto been pursued by that Gentleman, hid bring ing forward his motion 'in the present shape, .was amoirgst the worn)ers of the day.. The worthy Alder. mart too who had ecouded .t he motion, afforded ano. titer instance of the wonders of the presentage. On a late occasion that worthy Magistrate! would not consent to any further grant of their civil rights to the Ca, lilacs of Ireland, and yet now he was so enamour ed of the cause of the Catholic People of Spain,A hat he thought every assistance ought to be afforded to them in the prosecution of the glorious struggle in which they were engaged. The repentance of the worthy Aldertriau he hoped would prove sincere; and : that at any future period, when it might be pro posed to retnwie the remaining disabilities affecting our Catholic fellow-subjeas; he would adopt a line, of conduct consistent with his present sentiments with respect to the Catholic People of. Spain.— Having made these. observations upon what h a d al • ready passed in. the discudSion, he tame next' to coil • • tja . ei..the imtnediiiiely before the Court, ;AC' however, that respea to . 1 1.te objed of it, could be no difference ofopiniou. Agree-. lug heartily. as he .did in the,en:',of the .motion, lie dicApproved the rnocle in Which•it was' to be 'attained. . i.ie regretted that Parliament bad Sep:a . rated without t.ty declaration of its flings with respect to.the cause of Spain. y . But it *as decidedly his opinion, that the coiai.s.• which ought to be pur- 7 stf6d'in that Assembly, was, ,not by Address td .Majesty, but by a Declaration of their sympathy in the-Spanish cause, and . their deters itiation to sup port any, measures necessary to afford them effe&ual assistaece. A worthy friend. near him (Mr.-Cood behere),,had an amendment to offer, which he was confident would attain the end of the Mover ,qf -the Address .in a way more desirable than by hiS Motion. He was an enemy to'...Add l resSes, because Under the semblance of a mark of attachment to the Sovereign,.they amounted indirealy, to an.. approba tion of the.condua of Ministers. Theworthy Alder man had alluded to the celebration of the .A.nriiver eary or the lieStruaior-. of the Bastile. He could not see any distin6tion between the cause of the people of France at that period, and the struggle of the people of Spain, for their independence and li berty. in the present instance; and if the people had been then suffered to pursue their object without external interference, a great part of the calamities -which 'had since befallen Europe would have been prevented, as well as the vast eflUsion of blood and treasure which had since taken place. • Mr. Hut and Sir Riontiow CARP, GLYtirl supi ported the `Motion, 'as did also seve-al other Gentle= tnen. • ' • • , Mr. Goonii - tahrtE followed on the same side and , in the same line of observation with Mr. WILIT/I- Id AN, and concluded with an amendinent in the form of a.deciaration on •the part of that assembly, expressive of their sympathy in the Spanish cause,• and their readiness to concur in any measures that should be adopted for their aid in the struggle against the most atrocious usurpation and tyranny that had ever been imposed upon any 'nation. The worthy Member, however, stated, though he had thought it his duty to submit this. amendment to the Court, irk should appear that the sense of. the Assembly wr t is against it, he should not press 4 to a decision. WAITHMAN seconded the aniendment. " - Mi. S. DIXON insisted, that as tlieamendrnent was in the possession of the Court - , they ought to decide upon the question, in, order to shew to the Public 'lbw few there were who would support .4. The motives of the two Gentlemen who propoSed and seconded the amendment, were too obvious and apparent. They wanted that that Court should aet; on this'eccasion, independently of the Executive, through which alone they could constitutionally convey their sentiments to the Public in the shape bf an Address to the Throne. • Mr. 7? , .f.,ADi: vindicated the Mover and Seconder of the Amendment from the imputation of improper motives, and contended, that if the worthy Gen tleman who had .brought forward the original Mo tion, had considered the subjea maturely, he would have preferred the mode of attaining his object by the amendment, to the Mode by an Address. - Mr. WAITHMAN, as motives had been personally imputtql to him, would have been glad that the mo tives.hl.l been mentioned. ft had always been his wish, as _it would through life; that his motives' should be not only apparent, kit publicly known. As the imputed motives had not been mentioned, he shOuld state some motives by which he had not been • influenced. He had not written to Lord GrenVille for a living tbr one of his sons, nor had he obtained from the present . Administration places for two other sons. . He would not confide delusively the affairs ~f the Country either to the late Administration or the Present, or to any other set of men, unless they should give him more reason to anti.:ipate a wise and edicientsystef o of go-Vernment than either the .late or-the preseut Administration had done. - . After an eloquent reply from Mr. Qt.ilN, ,the amendment was withdrawn, and the original motion foi-theAddress carried unanimously. ' A Committee was then appointed to 'prepare the Address; which was agreed to • and the Sheriffs were ordered to wait upon his Majesty, to know when he would be graci i otisly pleased to receive the Corporation With their AtidresSi THE IVEAMER.

Of this part of the charge the Jury found the Prisoner-Guitty. : John Bumstead, a boy of only !3 y ears old, was capitally indieted for stealing in the dwelling-house, -of C. FL P. Artis, .at Kingsland;- Hackney; on thi., 29th of, May last, two hundred and fifteen guineas and an half, in hold, one 101. and two 51. Bank of England notes, some dollars; a crown piece, and some shillings, with a bracelet; and some ether ar tides. . , Artis is a master chimney-sweeper, and the pri soner was one Of his three apprentices. Artis had this property locked in a small tea-chest, which wag ,alSo lbcked within a large chest; and on Mon day; the .i.gth of May, about half-past two in the afternoon, he left hii house in ,the care of thA pri-: goner alone. On his return . at night the prisoner was gone, and he found his chest was broken open, and the tea-chest, which contained the Money, taken away. Artis could learn nothing of the prisoner; until he had been taken up on suspicion by tht;• POlite; Jonathan Coakfield, a watchman of St. LeOnard's, Shoreditcl:, proved that the prisoner Came to him a; ten o'clock on the night above-stated, and asked leave to - sit in his box to eat his supper, adding, that his master had turned him away in conaequence of some falling out, and that he was afraid to go' to hie friends. And, after a variety of other artful but un• interesting circumstances, he prOduced a crown piece, and wanted to treat the watchman with drink, and some time afterwards tol4 him; " tH't he had a good find of yellow boys" . that day, which he ex. l plained by producing a nutmeg-grater, containing fourteen guineas and two five pound Bink of Eng land notes, adding, that he had lost another piece of paper like thern;and could not find it again. The. watchman, ,suspeCting all was not right, gaye the . boy in charge to the constable. A boy of if! years old; proved that he had received, from the Prisoner a bracelet; . which proved to be that stolen out of the tea-cheit; Another boy, of t 2 years, proVed, that the Pri.; sober had called on him that evening; told hiM he had sortie money which he had saved up,,made him a piesent of ss. 11,1 d sheaved him three half-guineas, which he had concealed.in one of his shoes.

They carte to ail archway, in which the boy pointed out a spot Where he said he had hid it ; but' it could not be' found. Sir A. Ca AMBRE summed up the eviderice for the Jury, who found the Prisoner Guilty. ' Rob. Witittingham and Lyn/4 Levy were conviaed of priva►ely stealing from the dwelling of G. liattoh above the value of 40s. ' There was au indictment fol . burglary, but it was not proved the entry was made in the night ; and Eliz. Flindall way acquitted on a charge Of receiving the same goods, knowing there* to be stolen. Joseph Bodth was capitally indiaed fdr in the dwelling7house of 3. Levy, fourteen pieces of Gingham, value. 101. on the 27th June. It was proved, that the Prisoner had stolen the property at noon day, from the door of Levy, and the .articles were traced to his posSession, from the Moment he .quitted Mr. Levy's, door, until the goods were placed in t4e'care of Mr. Renshaw, a silversmith, at bOrri4 distanee; at whosa.door the Prisoner laid doWn sti4 bundle, and then sat down, and laid his head on it to sleep, seemingly much infoxicw.ed. ' ' The .Prisoner presented a ‘rs ritten derence i in which he stated that he had a wife and four chil dren, whom he endeavoured to support by the trade of a: barber, and occasional jobs in porterage : that he had spent 17 years in the,sea and land 'se:- vice, and in consequence of a wound on his head, he Was so easily intoxicated, and became in cOn:te quence. so much deranged, that his neighbours stiled him " the Mad Barber," as he knew not what lie did or said on such occasions. He, however, stated that the bundle was giver. him tO carry by a Man, who immediately afterwards deserted hnn. His occasional insanity . was proved by two wit nesses, who gave him likewise a good' character. Sit ALAN' ciiP,MßrtE said, ',h.: capital part charge was not sustained, 23 the goods appe; have been stolen not from under the protectiu dwelling-house, which constituted the c.ip• fence in law, but from a chest, in Which t.,e; placed, and which was partly butsida, the door Prosecutor. •, The jury 'found the prisoner Guilty, but mended him as an object of Royal ntercy. ter.
